Let's just say that when we are so familiar with each other, OP can quite easily be replaced with a screen name.....just like when you get to know someone in real life you call someone by their name not, "Hey, you." but that's just me I guess.

This is actually the first time I remember reading something of yours - for whatever reason - so I think I'm okay still calling you OP, okay?

I'm also curious as to what you thought would happen in response to your initial post.  "Just curious"?  Please.  The only reason to ask that particular question is so you can compare your baby's progress with that of other babies'.  That's not really "sharing" as you claim. 

Either you're anxious about your baby's development - which the tone of your post doesn't suggest - or you think your baby is doing great, and are wanting to confirm that for yourself.  I can't imagine a reason to post something like that if you think your baby's just average.

"Oh, my baby poops.  Do your babies poop?"  See how stupid that sounds?  Well, that's because babies poop - it's no big deal.  Your posting about rolling suggests that you think this is important somehow, because if it were no big deal as you claim, you wouldn't bother asking about it. 

Just own your desire to talk about how awesome your baby is.  We all think our babies are awesome, so I don't know why you need outside validation.  No need to be coy and passive-aggressive while AWing - just post a picture of your cute little munchkin and move on.

And here is why we picked @ranaverde for most rational... she gets it

DS has been rolling from belly to back since 2 weeks.  Tummy time is does not happen in our house.  He just rolls over.  I have tried pulling wedges by him and his rolls right over them.  He is INSANE.  He rolled once from back to belly last week but not since then. He likes to hang out on his sides.  Oh and he likes to sit up.  Hates laying down, like he is afraid he is going to miss something. He is 12 weeks

And so these post begin. I hate this post. I feel like the "my baby is better then yours" post just make mama's doubt what they are doing. Mamas don't worry; you're doing it all right.

I believe some of you ladies are misunderstanding what this thread is about. It is about sharing milestones, not about competition. I am tired of you directly going to the negative with harmless postings. Give me an effing break. I have been here since the beginning because I like being a part of an online community, and I feel like I have gotten to know a lot of you guys. People like to share, so step off and start some new fucking threads if you are not enjoying the ones that are started.

I have to agree.  I think it is fun to see who is experiencing what you are and what you have to look forward to.  If you have self doubt about your parenting skills, then don't read the post.  Didn't we all get the memo that this is a blog and not Dr. google.  If you are concerned ask your pedi.  That was the mother statement while we were all preggo.  It still stands.

SOOOO late in the game, but I don't go negative with post. I just call out bullshit. Sorry that when I read your post and my first thought was "great, now some moms are going to worry their babies are behind or worried they are doing something wrong." How DARE I have compassion for these women. Nothing wrong with AW your baby. Just do it!!! Don't do it in this way. OP, I will never step off. Once again, I saw this post was going to hurt mamas and I called it out.

This is what I was going to say. This post would have gone way better if it was "AW: My baby rolled!" then AW it up for a minute and other people with rolly babies join in.

And "who's" means "who is". The word you were going for is "whose".

Um, whut? This is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard on TB, and that's saying a lot.

I am VERY familiar with a lot of the posters here and on multiple other boards. Some of them have become my close IRL friends. And I still refer to them as OP when they start posts. Untwist those knickers.

1. This isn't a blog, it's a message board.

2. "Preggo" is THE MOST annoying word ever. Saying it makes you sound like you are 16.

3. Fuck off for saying that people who have a problem with posts like this doubt their parenting skills. I don't doubt my parenting skills. My baby girl has a fucking heart condition that makes it so she doesn't develop like a normal baby. Seeing posts like this is just another reminder that my baby won't ever be a normal baby.

So yeah. Screw you. @daniann333 not ATXMamaDoll.

They see me rollin'...

I didn't actually intend for this to be an AW post. Clearly, when I posted the discussion my baby hadn't even attempted to roll over. I posted a comment a couple of hours later that he rolled because I thought it was ironic and sweet. The second comment I made was AW, not the original posting. I will agree to that. I still believe it is okay and fun to share milestones and support the women that like to share. I think some of you read WAY too much into threads. All I can do is shake my head at how ridiculous this is. And it's incredibly childish to think it's okay for you to share your opinions, but when someone like @daniann333 shares her opinion (or anyone that opposes you for that matter) you like to stomp on them. Either you guys love drama and are bored, or your personal insecurities breed your thought processes. Yes, there is support for sorrow and confusion and fear for women on this board. However, Mamas deserve to share and be supported with happy moments and milestones as well. B!tch all you want to. Manipulate all you want. It will not change what and how I post. I will continue to say this thread was not a competition. I am just sad that it turned into a snake pit. You guys think your opinions are righteous and above everyone else, which I will never buy into if I don't believe it's right. I don't believe most of you are right. @stlucia_wife You are calling it out the way YOU read it to mean. Not everyone shares that view. @ranaverde We have shared in many of the same discussions. We have even commented on each others comments. Also, "comparing" is not the same as "competing." Yet, I still stand by my use of the word "sharing." That is exactly what my intention was, and nothing else. You are reading too much into it.

Wow is that even possible?!

Oh and no one asked your opinion in regards to the OP. So take your white horse and ride on out.  

 

Nobody asked for any of these opinions. ETA: quote fail. Not sure I fixed it.

------------------------------------------- What was uncalled for was implying that others are not good mothers by saying: "If you have self doubt about your parenting skills, then don't read the post." Before you start trying to say you weren't belittling others' mothering skills, don't. No one says passive aggressive shit like this unless they're trying to make it sound like they're not calling names, but the person it's directed at thinks this about themselves. Edit for quote tree fail.

rczamora I apologize if I came off like I was belittling.  I didn't mean it to sound like that.  I could have worded it better.  For that I apologize.  (no snark)

I didn't take it quite that way but her statement sure did imply that those that have problems with posts like this only have a problem because they are insecure with their parenting skills, which is really shitty.

So... your baby hadn't reached a milestone yet, and yet you were sharing it?  That makes no sense. 

C'mon.  You wanted to know what other babies were doing so you could compare your own baby's progress to that.  And when people said this was problematic, you tried to pretend you were just doing this to be friendly, even though people said that it made them feel bad.  And now you're continuing to insist that you have the best of intentions, that it's other people who made this a "snake pit", even though it's your original post and your reactions to it that have made people upset.

Whether you want to believe it or not, whatever your intentions may have been, you screwed up.  Own it.

ETA:  Now, it may be that I'm being a bit of a bitch here.  I admit it.  (See how easy that is?) But if anyone ever says that something I've posted has made them feel bad, and I didn't mean to do so, you know what I'm going to do? 

I'm going to apologize.  I'm not going to make excuses.  I'm going to say I'm sorry, and I'll make a point of not doing that again. 

For example - @CaiShov , I apologize that my check-in check-in gave the idea that I thought things like the colic check in were stupid.  I thought I was being funny, but I can see how that might have come across as mean.  I hope that you will forgive me.
